I listen to this out of mourning for what was, what never will be again and all the false promises Lauryn has made over the years. At least, at least, there is this album. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. On one side of the coin I'm happy she created this work of art at the right time and on the other side, feel she used up and killed the muse of all her willfulness and musical creativity on it (Unplugged 2.0 doesn't count, sorry). When she proves me wrong, I will believe otherwise.
IF YOU ACTUALLY CARE AND READ ALL OF THIS, THEN THANK U!***
i work my ass off 2 make it in the music biz but its impossible if no one ever hears you, and its hard to get people to hear you when you have no exposure, i don't have the money for amazing music videos and youtube advertisements..so all im left with is spam.if you could, take two seconds to check out my music and subscribe i'd appreciate it and i'll return the fav
I once heard someone say "nicki couldn't even hold Lauryn's dirty tampon let alone a candle to her talent" as extreme and disgusting as that statement is, I do feel like our music is heading down a certian void road
SideNote: I have nothing against Nicki or any of God's creations
@TXejas19 I agree, well said. Just wondering what do you think of Rah Digga and MC Lyte or Kenny Arkana(french) ? I extend this to all Lauryn fans as well. Which other female MCs do you enjoy listening to?
@fruitpluslegumes I've never listened to the french one but I enjoy MC Lyte and I wouldn't exactly turn to the next song if I heard Rah digga(on some songs). I'm gonna have to check out Kenny Arkana
funny how she mentioned "ghetto supastar" which was the name of Pras's (from the fugees) new LP at the time, and she also mention her first album Blunted, as in the fugees first album 'Blunted On Reality'.
yo yall please check this group called Good Vocation...i put it on videos like this because we are being ourselves...no trap, no sex songs, none of that mainstream stuff....God, love, all that man check these dudes out...pure dopeness man please yall GOOD VOCATION IS NEXT COMING OUTTA CHICAGO
@Jazzedboltz Yeah that's a rhyme! I like the part; I know you think that you've got it all And by making other people feel small Makes you think you're unable to fall And when you do, who you gonna call? See, what you give is just what you get I know it hasn't hit you yet Now I don't mean to get you upset But every cause has an effect As well as the whole song, from beginning to end. Lauryn hill is no doubt the best!
@ShaQuirahDaSongbird Seeing her in Portland, OR she's touring with the Soul'D Out Tour with Mos Def, Blackalicious, Ice Cube, and lots of other goodies
I Hate Brinqqinq Up Other Artist In Other Artist Sonqqs but the line "Music Is Supposed To Inspire" .. Those Who Say Nicki Is Trash .. Her Songs Save Me, Last Chance, Moment 4 Life , Fly , Dear Old Nicki && Here I Am all Inspire.. So Fuck Ya'll Who Says She's Trach.. If Ya Want More Listen To Autobiography, Still I Rise, Can Anybody Hear Me, Encore '07 && Envy.. After Listening To Those You Can Freely Say She's Trash
ALOT of mainstream artists need to listen to this song and wake the F**K up, stop making shitty music for the love of almighty God.
